“It’s either hold ’em or fold ’em. You’re either in the wrestling business or not. Is Dixie Carter really in the wrestling business, or this is just a hobby? You either make the move or you don’t. You’re at that point now. It’s the same place we were with WCW – you either run with the big dogs or be a little dog and stay on the porch. The destiny of this company is in her hands. It can stay TNA, a powerful little company, or she can make the decision to move onto greatness.”
Hogan says that TNA made some good decisions recently by cutting back on their number of pay-per-view events and finally taking Impact on the road.
“To limit to four major PPVs will give us a chance to make the wrestlers more important to give the fans a chance to choose who they love. I think it gives you a chance to sink your teeth into the characters and the company.”
Hulk Hogan says that many of the wrestlers currently on the roster would be “bagging groceries” back when he was headlining shows, but the business has changed and he admits it’s for the better:
“Twenty years ago most of the wrestlers who are in this business now wouldn’t even be here. They’d be bagging groceries somewhere. When I was wrestling I was a medium sized guy. King Kong Bundy was 450 and John Studd was 400 and Earthquake was 400 and Andre was 550 and I was 330, Don Muracco was 300lbs.”
The business has changed and it’s for the better. It’s more exciting because the guys can do more moves and are more athletic than we were.”
